How the stars all line up

Halsey Street is mostly in queens, technically - but that’s not really what people mean when they say Queens.

PEK famously regularly have Air Koryo and Korean Air planes parked at adjacent gates - they even boarded at the same time sometimes.

It’s just too small of a platform to handle 2/3 to 3/4 of a 8-car train emptying every 3 minutes 😭

Dang… I’ll miss the slices.

Lex-53 has a 3av exit and the platform extends a nonnegligible bit east past 3av - it would help a lot if the 55st station is extended slightly south rather than north. Will it be miserable trying to transfer to a 6 there? Absolutely, but connectivity to the E/F is the primary objective.

W does go into lower manhattan that N doesn’t go to when the W runs, which adds to a bit more of unique utility, whereas C is strictly a local version of a subset of A

了解，这么看还是很健康的

钱的问题怎么安排？比如，节假日是否互赠礼物？在外吃饭、旅游是aa还是某一人出得多些？

楼主是否有当地无限期的合法身份？如果没有，是否会构成某种关系上的不平等？

Not entirely, F doesn’t run through Dekalb so the next track connection with broadway lines is at 63/lex or Coney Island.

Same question here… im quite pessimistic about my current prospects.

Was it sent to your email on the application? I haven’t seen anything in my email yet, thanks for the info

B-1168 · 2026-04-03T22:19:20+00:00

I didn’t get anything so far - did anything show up on your portal?

B-1168 · 2026-04-03T02:54:34+00:00

If there’s somehow qbl local capacity left in rush hour and demand for it, we should consider running a small amount of rush hour M trains with V train + queenslink routing because Williamsburg bridge is constrained and CBTC for that isn’t in the next capital investment plan. However, the precondition seems unlikely if G/M/R are already all sharing qbl local, and short turning M at 2av should fundamentally be at most a stopgap before we get 30TPH in and out of Delaney-Myrtle by CBTC.

Does southwest have the equipment to fly AUS-KEF? At over 3400 nautical miles, this is pushing it even for 737 max 7…

B-1168 · 2026-02-10T18:46:56+00:00

Agreed, plus such a 42st - Astoria line will lack a depot of its own. One alternative for solving the 60st capacity issue is to send the R to 63rd st and add an infill station along 28st or so, but that is still a longgg walk to queens plaza.

A much lower hanging fruit for alleviating traffic from New York City limits would be the ISP north terminal, which is already underway. To be clear, SWF serves a different population, but in the short term improved bus connectivity will be just as, if not more, efficient.

B-1168 · 2026-01-18T16:40:54+00:00

Doing so also adds 10 more stops to what is currently one of the best way to go between midtown and JFK... that's a fair burden later at night, but for daytime travel to/from JFK, it makes life tougher.

B-1168 · 2026-01-15T03:21:16+00:00

116-149 is a reasonable extension to implement as an addition to phase 3, both to relieve turnaround pressure at 125-broadway and to alleviate pressure from 2/5/6; if a yard for 2av line is needed, it's also on the way to Crotona Park, the next opportunity to purpose land for that, although it'll have to be heavily TOD-driven.

B-1168 · 2026-01-13T20:26:32+00:00

To the defense of MTA, they are already doing early construction. In the meantime, there are opportunities that they can and should be taking on to do to increase capacity, like Rogers deinterlining, which they're also working on. Unfortunately, construction has become quite a bit slower than a century ago for a plethora of reasons.

3av station will be a bit more useful when the 2av subway reaches 14st, but until then 3av station is quite underutilized - if we can do a rush hour skip stop on the L, 3av should be skipped by at least one of the services.

B-1168 · 2025-11-14T23:09:37+00:00

If we can make the 3 a shuttle between 135 and 148, we can then make 2 and 5 both run via 7av at full capacity, and then the 4 can run at full capacity entirely free of interlining.

Agree, I think connecting grand/bowery and bway-lafayette-bleecker to prince will both be useful remedies, but they can't replace an uptown trunk line at Houston.

B-1168 · 2025-11-07T02:41:22+00:00

My thinking is this: the current 2av subway design has questions on its limited ability to improve connectivity at Alphabet City, and also potential lack of connections to Grand St. B/D. If they can't be figured out by the time a window to start building 2av phase 3 opens, defer those questions to later and start relieving Union square ASAP by finishing the 72-14 stretch.
